>> senator john mccain was sharply refuting that saying there were hours between the two deaths that, six or seven hours passed before two americans were killed. so there could have been time had there been more coordination between the defense department as well as the state department. so, you know, that's where mccain, and i'm sure graham are going to be hammering them. but it really falls on the state department and that's why hillary clinton said she was responsible, heree leon panetta has not said he's responsible. and as jennifer griffin was saying, democrats are talking about the pending budget cuts, they are not that you canning about benghazi there this hearing. jon: so now you've got a new secretary of state already in place, john kerry is there. you've got probably a new secretary of defense coming in, i just wonder if some of these questions are ever going to get answered or will there be the opportunity for testimony via document or something? >> you know i think with the new team coming in they'll say, listen that was hillary clinton's reign, they are going to try to lo
